Identifying and converting questions into statements

Abstract

Identifying and converting questions into statements is provided via receiving a question; identifying a category of the question; selecting a conversion model based on the category; and converting, by the conversion model, the question, into a textual statement corresponding to the question.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving a question;   identifying a category of the question;   selecting a conversion model based on the category; and   converting, by the conversion model, the question, into a textual statement corresponding to the question.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving a corresponding answer to the question; and   interpreting the corresponding answer for use in converting the question into the textual statement.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the corresponding answer is a non-textual numerical response mapped to a textual response. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the corresponding answer is a non-textual coordinate-based response mapped to a textual response. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein converting the question into the textual statement incorporates the corresponding answer into the textual statement. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving a second question;   identifying a second category of the second question, different from the category of the question;   selecting a second conversion model, different from the conversation model, based on the second category; and   converting, by the second conversion model, the second question, into a second textual statement corresponding to the second question.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving a second question;   identifying a second category of the second question, different from the category of the question;   selecting the conversion model based on the second category; and   converting, by the conversion model, the second question, into a second textual statement corresponding to the second question.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 inserting the textual statement and the second textual statement into a demographic profile generated for a hypothetical person sharing demographic features with respondents to the first question and the second question who provided statistically similar responses.   
     
     
         9 . A device, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory, including instructions that when executed by the processor perform operations including:   receiving a question;   identifying a category of the question;   selecting a conversion model based on the category; and   converting, by the conversion model, the question, into a textual statement corresponding to the question.   
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9 , the operations further comprising:
 receiving a corresponding answer to the question; and   interpreting the corresponding answer for use in converting the question into the textual statement.   
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the corresponding answer is a non-textual numerical response mapped to a textual response. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the corresponding answer is a non-textual coordinate-based response mapped to a textual response. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein converting the question into the textual statement incorporates the corresponding answer into the textual statement. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 9 , the operations further comprising:
 receiving a second question;   identifying a second category of the second question, different from the category of the question;   selecting a second conversion model, different from the conversation model, based on the second category; and   converting, by the second conversion model, the second question, into a second textual statement corresponding to the second question.   
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 9 , the operations further comprising:
 receiving a second question;   identifying a second category of the second question, different from the category of the question;   selecting the conversion model based on the second category; and   converting, by the conversion model, the second question, into a second textual statement corresponding to the second question.   
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , the operations further comprising:
 inserting the textual statement and the second textual statement into a demographic profile generated for a hypothetical person sharing demographic features with respondents to the first question and the second question who provided statistically similar responses.   
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory storage device including instructions that when executed by a processor perform operations including:
 receiving a question;   identifying a category of the question;   selecting a conversion model based on the category; and   converting, by the conversion model, the question, into a textual statement corresponding to the question.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory storage device of  claim 17 , the operations further comprising:
 receiving a corresponding answer to the question; and   interpreting the corresponding answer for use in converting the question into the textual statement,   wherein the corresponding answer is a non-textual and includes a numerical response or a coordinate-based response that is mapped to a textual response.   
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory storage device of  claim 17 , the operations further comprising:
 receiving a second question;   identifying a second category of the second question, different from the category of the question;   selecting a second conversion model, different from the conversation model, based on the second category; and   converting, by the second conversion model, the second question, into a second textual statement corresponding to the second question.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory storage device of  claim 17 , the operations further comprising:
 inserting the textual statement into a demographic profile generated for a hypothetical person sharing demographic features with respondents to the first question who provided statistically similar responses.
